Collections Consultation

In addition to our knowledge in landlord-tenant law, we can offer consultation on your collections process. This starts with an assessment of the initial application phase, then reviewing how you are handling receivables after a tenant vacates.

We often take over as counsel for a property where their prior outside attorney did not take an aggressive approach. In these circumstances, we do a wholesale evaluation and offer suggestions to our clients on how to address the problem and best mitigate delinquencies.

Small Claims Removal

With the proliferation of information available to tenants online at no cost, suits are more commonly being filed upon against landlords by tenants unrepresented by an attorney. In these circumstances, we can get involved from the start and seek a low-cost resolution for our clients or appear on their behalf for the purpose of defending […]
